We Have Arrived!

We have arrived and safe! Suzy is in the water and hq is all set up. The sons of varnish are here to stay.. Until the shows over then we have to whimper home to our jobs and responsibilities.. But for now we are care free and living large.. Until we get back and have to pay the bills.. Wooohooo

ENJOY That Boat & Top.. We visited your booth last year while exhibiting with the Glasspar club.. My neighbor is there now with his Molinari Tunnel for vintage speed.. We read yesterday blog about the Jersey skiff Death / flip ..Not good for the hobby / ACBS… Will await your pics, but also 83 degrees here in Tenn.

I would like to clarify that although certain members of the ACBS may also be members of the Classic Raceboat Association, the CRA itself runs this event, and it is totally separate from the the ACBS. The distinction between the two organizations is total, but there is no argument that this was a terribly tragic weekend for those in the classic raceboat fraternity, and in fact all of us in the wider classic boat fraternity – I don’t care if it is ACBS or CRA or anything else. Although I did not witness the accidents, I was there in the aftermath of both and spoke to a number of people who are just in shock. There is no other word to describe it. These are hobbyists, not racers – just folks out there in persuit of fun and enjoyment. This was an exhibition of old race boats, not a race. It is just an ubelievably sad situation for everyone.

Matt, Betsy wants to know how do you get your big A*% under that top and do you need a hot tub and massage after being under there for any length of time. Only in the mid to upper 70’s at SML this week but Betsy purrred right up after a 5 month sleep and was ready to streach her sea legs.:)
